"Miss Elizabeth B. Gebhard, seventy-seven, 30 E. Lemon St., pioneer Salvation Army volunteer worker in Lancaster County, died at 9:40 p.m. Friday in St. Joseph's Hospital, where she had been a patient since April 2. Dr. Charles P. Stahr, deputy coroner, said death resulted from first, second and third degree burns of the body, received during the latter part of March when she suffered an attack of some kind at her home and fell on a stove. More than three decades ago Miss Gebhard assisted in conducting Salvation Army meetings in the city and usually presided at the Saturday night gospel sessions. In the days when the Welsh Mountains was forbidden territory to outsiders she penetrated into the hills and preached the Gospel at the Welsh Mountain mission to men who lived by their wits and were frequently sought by the police. In those early days in the mountains she was credited with winning the confidence of many of the oldtime law breakers and inducing them to become useful citizens. She was a member of the Church of the Nazarene. Surviving are one brother, Benjamin, Renova, Pa., and four sisters: Mrs. Catharine Snavely, Elizabethtown R1; Mrs. Harry Albert, Hummelstown; Miss Annie L. Gebhart, Elizabethtown R1 and Mrs. Elsie J. Albert, Scranton. A number of nieces and nephews also survive."
